Seasonal Maintenance Procedures
DE Filters

Diatomaceous Earth Pool Filters should be carefully disassembled and thoroughly cleaned every year (more often on pools with heavy usage or high foliage/debris levels).  We inspect the grid fabric and structure, the manifold, the air relief screen, the tank clamp and o-ring, and the air relief assembly.

Cartridge Filters

Cartridge Filters should be carefully disassembled and thoroughly cleaned 1-2 times per year (more often on pools with heavy usage or high foliage/debris levels).  We inspect the fabric and structure, thoroughly clean the elements and re-assemble the filter.

Pool Cleaners

Automatic Pool Sweeps such as the Polaris should be inspected and tuned up on an annual basis.  We measure and adjust the wheel speed and water pressure.  We inspect and replace wear parts as needed.  We also check the alignment and adjust the belt and gear tension.

Heaters

Pool Heaters should be cleaned and tested at least once per year.  We clean leaves and debris out of the heater cabinet and inspect the flame pattern on the burner and check the heat exchanger for sooting. 

Pool Heaters should be subjected to a very thorough inspection and service every five years (or annually under heavy service).  We perform all the elements of the annual tuneup (above) plus we test the heat rise, and measure and adjust the manifold gas pressure.  We test the safety circuits and pressure switches and test and calibrate the temp settings.

Electronic Controls

Electronic Control Systems should be serviced once each year.  We check all the time settings. We check the water temp sensor for accuracy and do an ice water test on the air sensor to insure proper freeze protection.  We check all the functions of the spa remote and check the heater operation from the indoor panel.  We also install a new backup battery if needed in the system.

Pool Lights and GFCI’s Pool Lights and GFCI’s should be tested annually.   We test the operation of the pool lights and the GFCI.  If repairs are needed, we will present you with a cost to repair or replace the needed items.
Automatic Chlorinators Automatic Chlorinators should have preventative maintenance done at least once per year.  We replace the tubing and cap o-ring.  We check the operation of the control valve and the check valve and replace if needed.  Price includes tubing and o-ring, other parts extra.
Jandy Valves Jandy Valves should be disassembled and lubricated once each year.  We take the valve apart and clean and lubricate the internal diverter with silicone lubricant.  We also replace internal o-rings as needed. This is not necessary with the newer Jandy Never Lube valves.
Backwash Valves

Multiport Backwash Valves should be disassembled and lubricated at least once each year.  We take apart the valve, inspect the diverter, gasket and valve body and apply lubricant to the diverter and gasket.  We also check the valve body o-ring for deterioration.

Plunger Backwash Valves should be disassembled and lubricated twice per year.  We take apart the valve, install new piston o-rings and lubricate the internal assembly.

Booster Pumps Polaris Pump Hoses (new style) should be replaced every few years.  We replace the hoses with genuine Polaris feed pump hoses.
Deck-O-Seal Mastic (or Deck-O-Seal) is the rubberized sealant between the coping and the deck.  We tear out the old mastic, prep the surface and carefully pour a new self-leveling mastic into the joint.  After the sealant begins to set, we put a very light coating of sand to texture the surface of the joint.
